Beauty of Nature
Nature, in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical, or material world or universe. "Nature" can refer to the phenomena
of the physical world, and also to life in general. The study of nature
is a large part of science. Although humans are part of nature, human
activity is often understood as a separate category from other natural
phenomena.
The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times, literally meant "birth".[1] Natura is a Latin translation of the Greek word physis
(φύσις), which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that
plants, animals, and other features of the world develop of their own
accord.[2][3] The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it began with certain core applications of the word φύσις by pre-Socratic philosophers, and has steadily gained currency ever since. This usage continued during the advent of modern scientific method in the last several centuries.[4][5]
Within the various uses of the word today, "nature" often refers to geology and wildlife.
Nature can refer to the general realm of living plants and animals, and
in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects – the
way that particular types of things exist and change of their own
accord, such as the weather and geology of the Earth. It is often taken
to mean the "natural environment" or wilderness–wild
animals, rocks, forest, and in general those things that have not been
substantially altered by human intervention, or which persist despite
human intervention. For example, manufactured objects and human
interaction generally are not considered part of nature, unless
qualified as, for example, "human nature" or "the whole of nature". This
more traditional concept of natural things which can still be found
today implies a distinction between the natural and the artificial, with
the artificial being understood as that which has been brought into
being by a human consciousness or a human mind. Depending on the particular context, the term "natural" might also be distinguished from the unnatural or the supernatural.
